Money for Love

I was in Chinatown recently and bumped into a couple holding hands. To an unassuming reader, this doesn't seem to be a problem, except that the gentleman was more than 80 years old with a bent back and the lady was a foreigner, probably age about 40 years old. She was chubby. There was nothing wrong, the man got what he wanted from the transaction; companionship, reduce loneliness and proabably some last minutes fun before grave time. The lady on the other hand also received what she wanted, financial dependency. More to come from inheritance. If she was younger and less abundant in physical shape, her market value would be higher. But age and figure finally discounted that. As the society aged, this would be a common sight and a living proof of disparity in income.
